Unfortunately, we won’t be able to watch the action live here in the US. But Discovery HD Theatre usually shows the racing a few weeks later.

You read about the pair killed during the sidecar quali? It is sad but that dude is awesome, he is 67 years old. I can’t even imagine myself doing trackdays at 67 let alone competing in a race…

To the sidecar guy, I salute you! RIP

We have MotoGP and AMA this weekend, and I still haven’t watch SBK @ Miller from last week. :slight_smile:

I’ve wanted to go out there for years to watch a race but its quite the expensive trip to fly to England and take the ferry over to the Isle of Man for a race LOL.

i didn’t know. very sad. RIP

Miller was pretty boring. I can’t stand watching bikes go around a track which is almost as flat as a pancake.

Here’s some action from practice:

For his age, McGuinnes still hauls some serious ass!!!

I really like Guy. Hopefully he can get his first TT win.
